    stolen computer and locking out


    If a computer with the latest update of Windows 10 is stolen, how safe is the information on it if, the computer

    a. requires a pin code to open?

    b.Microsoft account password is changed after the event?

    Does 'b' prevent Windows from opening?


    Also, what happens if I remove the device from my microsoft account? IS this the best thing to do?

    Any additional advice is welcome, thnx

    :)

    LOCKING STOLEN LAP TOP

    My laptop has been stolen. Find my device registers it at a location and time used by me. Therefore it hasn't been connected online since. I have tried to lock it but the message is 'off-line, please try later'

    Will my 'lock' command queue and activate next time the computer goes on line or do I have to catch it with a fresh command?
